He is only the second Catholic president, after former President John F. Kennedy. Thirty-one percent were unsure of his faith, while 6% identified him as Protestant, 3% said he was atheist, and 1% said he adheres to an \u201cother religion\u201d not listed. An additional 1% said his religion is \u201csomething else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two-thirds of those polled, by contrast, were unable to name Harris\u2019 religion, with just 12% correctly naming the self-identified Baptist as a Protestant.&nbsp;Harris\u2019 faith became a flashpoint during her vice presidential debate with former Vice President Mike Pence, who pointed out how she attacked&nbsp;Judge Brian Buescher during his 2018 confirmation for being a member of the Catholic Knights of Columbus, which opposes abortion and same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe Biden and I are both people of faith, and it\u2019s insulting to suggest that we would knock anyone for their faith,\u201d Harris scolded in response.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the survey is largely divided along party lines. As Pew reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p><em>Even among Biden\u2019s fellow Catholics, partisanship permeates views of Biden\u2019s religion. Nine-in-ten Democratic and Democratic-leaning Catholics say they think Biden is at least somewhat religious, including half who say he is \u201cvery\u201d religious. Among Republican and Republican-leaning Catholics, by contrast, a 56% majority say Biden is \u201cnot too\u201d or \u201cnot at all\u201d religious. And while eight-in-ten Catholic Democrats say they think Biden discusses his faith \u201cabout the right amount,\u201d barely half as many Catholic Republicans say the same (42%).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Catholics polled regarding whether Biden should be denied Communion because of his abortion views also split according to party, with 55% of Republican-leaning Catholics in favor of withholding the sacrament, and nine-in-10 Catholic Democrats opposed to such a disciplinary measure.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview published last month in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/archbishop-on-bidens-catholicism-the-president-doesnt-believe-what-we-believe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Atlantic<\/a>, Kansas City Archbishop Joseph Naumann called Biden\u2019s abortion stance \u201ca point of confusion\u201d that is at odds with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Naumann said in part:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"16\">\n<p><em>If a non-Catholic Christian wants to enter into full communion with the Church, they\u2019re asked to make a profession where they say, \u201cI believe and profess all that the holy Catholic Church believes, teaches, and proclaims to be revealed by God.\u201d Each time we receive the Eucharist, we\u2019re also saying that profession. That\u2019s why it becomes a point of confusion. Obviously, the president doesn\u2019t believe what we believe about the sacredness of human life, or he wouldn\u2019t be taking the actions that he is. And yet, he continues to receive the Eucharist. We can\u2019t judge his heart. But we consider the action itself a grave moral evil.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/archbishop-on-bidens-catholicism-the-president-doesnt-believe-what-we-believe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Archbishop On Biden\u2019s Catholicism: \u2018The President Doesn\u2019t Believe What We Believe\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
